If you’ve never gotten to attend a student involvement fair, this is what ours looked like this year. People everywhere. We got to meet so many. Please pray with us that we are able to follow up with all of the students we connected with during the first week of classes. Our prayer is that these small connections would turn into conversations about Jesus, students coming to know and worship Christ, lives changed through intentional discipleship over cups of coffees, in Bible Studies and Weekly Worship.

First week of the semester is off to a great start!

Hi friends, here's a quick spring update from us!

Your prayers and support are transforming the lives of students here in Memphis! One of those students is Richard. He connected with us after his brother invited him to our weekly worship night on campus. This semester Richard started attending Matt’s small group Bible study, gave his life to Jesus, joined our discipleship class, and last month was baptized! We’re excited to see how the Lord continues to work in his life!

We hosted some major events on campus this semester to connect with new students, including a campus wide talent show for students to showcase their artistic talents and a giant glow-in-the-dark egg hunt on the lawn of a student dorm where over 130 students came out to enjoy free food, games, and an egg hunt for various prizes! These outreaches give us opportunities to build relationships and share the Gospel with students.

We are wrapping up the spring semester now with a year end cookout and our last large group worship service. In the next few weeks we will begin preparing now for the summer and connecting with students who will be on campus for summer classes and Freshmen orientation.

PRAYER REQUESTS

- Please pray for our graduating seniors as they transition away from campus into both careers and ministry.

- Pray as well for the students we will connect with at this summer’s New Student Orientation sessions and those on campus for summer terms.

- We would also appreciate your prayers for financial provision as we work to raise additional monthly support so that we can continue to reach the campus for Christ.

Would you consider investing in our ministry to university students if you do not do so already? You can give today by making a tax-deductible recurring gift or one-time donation at: giving.ag.org

How can we be praying for you and your family in this season? What is the Lord doing in your life? We would love to hear from you!

The work we do would not be possible without your faithful prayers and generosity. We deeply appreciate your partnership in all that the Lord is doing here at the UofM!

Last night we had an incredible glow-in-the-dark Easter Egg Hunt on the lawn of the largest dorm on our campus. Students came out to enjoy some food, games, line dancing and an egg hunt where they could get candy and have a chance to win some great prizes.
We also had one of our recent graduates share her testimony, where she challenged students to get to know God and seek to follow him during their college years
We couldn’t have done this without one of our staff coming up with this amazing idea and an army of awesome volunteers who helped us serve.
Please pray that the connections we made with students at this event will turn into them making a connection with Chi Alpha, getting involved and learning more about Christ.

Tonight we had a baptism celebration on campus. God is changing lives
